How can one comprehend the relation between energy and photography or visual culture today? Trigger’s newest edition is an exploration of that question – and broadly thematizes alternative approaches to energy through photography, the issue of society’s decarbonisation, the call for repair and collective values. This issue therefore highlights the power, and the will, to generate alternative futures. Trigger #5 will be launched in Antwerp at FOMU on November 14 during the FUTURES meet-up.
